Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. - HomeToGo revealed the results of its 2022 Theme Park Index, ranking 30 theme parks in the U.S. based on affordability.

“With summer on the horizon, we’re excited to be able to offer travelers a helpful pricing guide for America’s most popular theme parks so they can enjoy a fun-filled theme park getaway at any budget,” said Caroline Burns, Head of PR and Travel Expert, HomeToGo. “While ticket prices have seen an overall increase, we’re pleased that the index revealed that some of the best theme parks across the country are accessible for a fraction of the price compared to those in states like Florida and California.”
